It was serious pandemonium that took over an Anglican church in
Yenagoa, the Bayelsa capital, at the weekend, when a reverend clergy
slumped and died on the pulpit while officiating a wedding programme.
According to Vanguard, the clergyman (names withheld) who is
married with children and hailed from Tombia community in Yenagoa Local
Government Area of the state, according to a church member was not known
to be sick but was complaining of headache before his tragic death.
According to the church member identified as Mary said: “Our
reverend was not known to be sick but was complaining of slight headache
before the wedding ceremony . We are at a loss as to what must have
happened to him. He was such a nice family man.”
It was gathered that the pandemonium that ensued changed the mood
of the wedding programme and temporarily disrupted the wedding
proceedings for half an hour before normalcy was restored.
